This quick salad is super healthy and is filling enough to be a complete meal or served along side other dishes for a large party. Tofu soaks up the delicious flavors of tomato and green onion and is garnished with a slightly salty sprinkle of feta cheese.

OY great!!!! catch — should be seasoned with S + P. I will fix now. I also just added fresh lemon juice. enJOY!
Don’t see the addition of the lemon juice, nor does the recipe specify to use the salt and pepper on the tofu.
No marinade or flavoring for the tofu?
